In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find:

In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies.
Everything you think, do and say, is in the pill you took today

In the year 4545
Ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you

In the year 5555
Your arms hanging limp at your sides
Your legs got nothing to do
Some machine doing that for you

In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube

In the year 7510
If God's coming, he oughta make it by then
Maybe he'll look around himself and say
Guess it's time for the judgment day

In the year 8510
God is gonna shake his mighty head
He'll either say.I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down and start again

In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin if man is gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old Earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing

Now it's been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew,
now man's reign is through

But through eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it's only yesterday

Heh cool, creative.

Cool song and quite forward thining for 1969, however the time scale should obviously be compressed a bit.

Yeah horrible, and not much better when the synthpop droolings of newwave farts Visage covered it in the early 80's, either. But I guess that's what you can expect with their frontman having been a failed model. Or is it the song this time and not the singer?

It depends... each person understands something else. For me, it means that we should develop faster the resources for Life Extension, rather than waste outr time with idiocies, commercials or bashing each other stupidly. Liplez, i don't think you have to insult a band that opened up a new style of music to the world, and still this year 2006 many bands are very influenced or just simply rip off Visage in their songs. Their "Fade to Grey" hit single was covered by more than 200 bands... this should say a lot

I loved this song and attribute it to be becoming a cryonicst (well along with Star Trek ;) ) but when I was 6, I heard this song while my dad was driving--I was sitting in the passenger side of his little silver cab pick-up truck (I remember it had a little blue and red stripe down the middle of the sides). I heard this song, and liked it--my dad turned it up. That was it, just on the radio, heard it once--and it got me thinking, for days. I was amazed by how the future could be--I wanted to see it. My alternate email is intheyear2525 at gmail dot com. I have this song in 4 different forms, my kids like the dance beat one :).

Did you know there was a campy (as in dumb but kitschy & cute) New Zealand TV show called Cleopatra 2525?

http://www.hulu.com/cleopatra-2525

The main character, Cleopatra awakens from a cryogenic deep freeze after more than five centuries. The other lead, Hel is the same actress from Firefly.

It came out in 2000 and ran for a little bit on late night TV along with Andromeda.

Very clichéd but all the real super heroes are the women and all the good *guys* are kind of wimps or androids. The only interesting male characters are the bad guys.

Sure, it was a product of its times. It's not about the future, it's about the environmental problems and anti-technology backlash of 1969. I wonder what the guys who wrote it would think of 2008?
